m (Undid edit by 157.242.208.166: that's the thing: so far there's no tier list that everyone uses in Ultimate. Plus, Pikachu had its arguments but never had arguments as the best character in the game due to having pretty mediocre representation and consistency issues with some of its top players) Tag: Undo |

Though Sheik has not made another appearance in a mainline ''Zelda'' game to date, her design within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has been updated over time to match the aesthetics of other installments in the series. When Zelda's design was changed to her ''{{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Princess}}'' appearance in ''Brawl'', Sheik was also altered to match, now using a design based on concept art the development team created specifically for ''Brawl''. Because Zelda and Sheik were split into unique fighters in ''SSB4'', their designs diverged in ''Ultimate''; while Zelda uses her look from ''{{s|zeldawiki|A Link Between Worlds}}'', Sheik was given a unique appearance combining the ''Twilight Princess'' design with the {{s|zeldawiki|Stealth Set}}, armor based on her design which is available to Link in ''Breath of the Wild''. | Though Sheik has not made another appearance in a mainline ''Zelda'' game to date, her design within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has been updated over time to match the aesthetics of other installments in the series.

The only instances are brief episodes of surprise and concern when herself and the surrounding area are in danger, especially when Link is nearby. Sheik has very melancholic demeanor, often waxing poetic about time and its effect on the mind, particularly with age. This is likely due to herself being partly responsible for Link's involvement in the conflict and his seven year slumber, having used that time to think about those consequences. Sheik is also proficient with a [[zeldawiki:Goddess's Harp|harp]], which she uses to teach Link various melodies on his ocarina. | ||
Sheik is occasionally assumed to be male or a male persona of Zelda, but it is the official stance of Nintendo that Sheik is female, just as Zelda is.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/5/5948989/zelda-nintendo-sheik-gender-cosplay Zelda fans debate Sheik's gender, but here's Nintendo's final word]</ref> She merely disguises herself as male, which her trophy in ''Melee'' speculates to be the result of magic. The [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Manga)|manga adaptation of ''Ocarina of Time'']] suggests that Zelda uses the Triforce of Wisdom to actually become male while disguised as Sheik, though this is considered non-canon to the games. | Sheik is occasionally assumed to be male or a male persona of Zelda, but it is the official stance of Nintendo that Sheik is female, just as Zelda is.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/5/5948989/zelda-nintendo-sheik-gender-cosplay Zelda fans debate Sheik's gender, but here's Nintendo's final word]</ref> She merely disguises herself as male, which her trophy in ''Melee'' speculates to be the result of magic.
